The weather was showery to start with but improved gradually through the day.

Wood Anemone was in bloom.
The walk covered some hilly terrain...
We stopped for a quick cuppa by the canal at the strangely named Cow Roast.

Apparently the area was originally called Cow Rest, and was in fact a staging post for the cattle drovers coming down from the Midlands to the London markets.
Cattle were not the only animals around- we passed a llama farm en route...

The high point (literally) was at the Bridgewater Monument just above Aldbury...

We all made it to the station a couple of minutes before the train. Many thanks to Maija for an enjoyable walk in some varied terrain.
